Manhattan College professor caught up on his mail, after he had returned to in-person teaching earlier in the semester. He said that he was \u201cshell shocked\u201d when he opened up a cardboard box that contained stacks of $50 and $100 bills totaling\u00a0$180,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen this kind of money in real\u00a0life in cash form,” Vinod Menon, the chair of the physics department at City College\u00a0told CNN, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen it except in the movies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Menon said when he found the cardboard box, it was beat-up had and was postmarked Nov. 10, 2020, and had no name on it, instead, he said it was addressed to \u201cthe chair of the physics department at CCNY.\u201d Along with the cash was a note that contained written instructions on how the large sum of money should be spent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was soon discovered that the sender, who was anonymous, was a former student who graduated CCNY and majored in physics and mathematics,\u00a0The New York Times reported.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n They went on to share that they went to CCNY after attending Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, and later earned a master\u2019s degree, and a Ph.D., as part of a \u201clong, productive, immensely rewarding to me, scientific career.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The sender requested that the money be used towards any \u201cdeserving junior or senior physics major in the Department who is also doubling mathematics major- and in need of financial support to continue their studies,\u201d the news outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
